Rodney Carrington, March 5
Friday, March 5, 7:30 & 9:30 p.m.
Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center, 7077 Elmore Avenue, Davenport IA
Making an eagerly anticipated stop at the Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center in support of his chart-topping album Get Em Out, comedian and singer/songwriter Rodney Carrington shares his standup and vocal talents in two performances on March 5, demonstrating the country-themed gifts that have made him an internationally touring crowd favorite and platinum-selling recording artist.
Carrington lived in Longview, Texas until age 22, performing standup at area venues and gaining exposure through radio programs such as The Bob & Tom Show. His first album Hangin' with Rodney, composed of both standup comedy and original songs, was released in 1998 via Mercury Records Nashville and peaked at number 73 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. The singer/comedian's next album, and first for Capitol Nashville, was 2000's Morning Wood, which brought Carrington to Billboard's singles charts for the first time with “More of a Man,” reached number 71 on Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now titled Hot Country Songs), and was followed by the artist's first and thus-far only live album Live: C'mon Laugh You Bastards.
Carrington's next release, 2003's Nut Sack, included a single (“Don't Look Now”) that reached number 60 on Billboard's charts, and 2004's Greatest Hitspackage – composed of selections from all three of his Capitol Nashville recordings – was unusual in that it boasted stand-up routines on one disc and songs on the other. That same year found Carrington making his acting debut in Rodney, a sitcom based largely on his own life that aired on ABC for two seasons. He followed his TV tenure with roles in the films Beer for My Horses, The Longest Yard, and A Million Ways to Die in the West, and Carrington's subsequent albums have included King of the Moun I discovered Rodney in 2002 and have owned every album and song he has put out. He's always been one of my favorite stand up comedians.

Edit page In the Bible, it’s written, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” What it doesn’t say is that the truth will be brought to the masses courtesy of country singer-comedian Rodney Carrington. But what the Bible doesn’t reveal, Carrington promises to tell when he brings his “Here Comes the Truth” tour at 8 p.m. Nov. 27 to the Grande Exposition Hall in the Silver Legacy Resort Casino. His credibility for “All Things True” comes in the form of a nearly 20-year career in which Carrington has released eight major-label albums; starred in his own television sitcom, “Rodney” for two seasons; co-starred and co-wrote with Toby Keith the 2008 film, “Beer for My Horses”; and has a full-length comedy special, “Laughter’s Good” showing on Netflix. Now, the truth isn’t always pretty and Carrington, 47, doesn’t sugarcoat it nary at all. His observations and ruminations are bold, often crude and filled with expletives. Carrington’s truth is not sanitized for minors. If you’ve never seen Carrington perform, don’t judge him by the black cowboy hat, jeans and flannel shirts he usually wears on stage, or by his distinctly western-drawl, which he inherited growing up in Longview, Texas. There is little content that Carrington avoids, but what he will talk about, he won’t reveal in an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal. When asked to describe the act he’ll bring to Reno, Carrington simply wrote, “It involves a tiny penis and a jolly soul.” Although the answer may seem dismissive at first, it’s actually just the truth. One of Carrington’s greatest assets as a performer is his ability to connect with the everyday working man and woman. Onstage, Carrington often laughs at his own jokes and always has a smile on his face. He also has a peculiar penchant for his pr Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada.

I've been a fan of Rodney for 20 years, this is not the old Rodney
I found this on Netflix and watched it with my wife (also a big Rodney fan) and we were kind of saddened by it. Rodney comes off as bitter about life, his relationships, getting older. It wasn't funny at all, it was sad. Like the big football star in high school who everyone loved, then you see him at your 20 year reunion and he hasn't grown up.
I hope Rodney gets it together and creates more material, hopefully he will find some happiness somewhere. But this particular special is not worth watching.Contribute to this page
